Hey everyone, I am having a local trusted mechanic work on my VX. He is doing timing belt, component kit, water pump, etc...

He is also doing the valve shims. All the shims are out of spec, and a few are WAY out of spec. He said he needed a tool, part# J-42689 I guess it is the tool that removes/replaces the shims? Does anyone know where I can get one of these tools besides ebay? Does he even need the tool, or would a screwdriver work? He asked me because he was having a hard time locating it.

Any help is appreciated.
